Team Kindness looked at how rhythm and beats can help chant rhymes. Once we could clap in beats of 4 and keep a rhythm we tried layering “Row, Row, Row your boat” with groups starting at different points. We then looked at a special African drum called a Djembe. We looked at how to play the drum properly and then used this to help keep a rhythm and beat to chant our song.
